I suggest you integrate Csound with your host in as open-ended a way as possible. For example, does your company have plans to provide a scripting language for the sequencer itself, as Cakewalk has with CAL (Cakewalk Application Language), or Sibelius' scripting language, or whatever? In that case you can use built-in scripts to receive events from the host, or from OSC, or from SCO files, and so on.

In any event, I think OSC support is good, but wouldn't that come just from Csound orcs themselves?

Regards,
Mike
